i've noticed crew members talking on the network about wanting to go out to explore the deeper parts of the ship, so i thought i'd reach out here - how many of you would be interested in going out as a search party for *people*, instead of places? so far three people we thought were lost for good have actually been here on the ship this whole time, what if there are more? what if none of the passengers we've lost have actually gone home? the ship is impossibly huge, isn't it?

i know it's a long shot, and i know it's a lot to ask, but i can't shake the feeling that there might be more people lost out there and need help getting back.

and i'd like to leave as soon as we wake up from the next jump.

no plans are set in stone just yet, but i'd like to get a headcount of those that would be interested in helping me.

i know i should have run all this by you before posting a transmission, but it's cutting close to jump time, so. there's that. am i crazy for wanting to do this? you can say yes. but i'd really you much rather give me the okay to do this because i can't tell you how much it's been bothering me since we all got back from finding the genetics labs.

thank you!

wow, i was kind of expecting the first response to be much different than this.

You think it's gonna let you find anyone?

Can't know for sure until we try.

We've already got a system in place for search parties.
But doing this you're going to get people freaked out over disappearances.
We know people go home cause they remember it when they come back.
The three this cycle were anomalies.
The first two weren't here.
The third was contained.

people can believe what they want. maybe i shouldn't have said they're all still here, but there might still be some here and that's the important part.
a lot of people come back with no memories of this place at all. but what about the ones who get lost on the ship and still haven't come back? we're supposed to expect that they're home and hope for the best?
who do you mean by the 'first two'? you're saying the two boys that returned weren't actually on the ship?

aren't you? after finally going out and being able to do something, don't you want.. more? what if there are more of us out there?

Much as I'd like to agree, Raven, the chances of people still being alive, wandering around the ship, are-- well, they're tiny. And the risks of going out there are incredible.

[darkholme]

but there's still a chance that people are out there. doesn't that bother you?

[ghostthatlingers]

This sounds like something that should be planned within security, not the entire ship.

text

[darkholme]

what's the difference? wouldn't want to pull too many people from security when they might be needed here with everyone else.

[blunted]

How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it.

[darkholme]

you say that as if they wouldn't want to be found.

Good.

Have you been to the new labs yet?

[learnedtosmile]

Do you have any evidence that anyone else is out there?

I'm not against the idea of regular patrols into the dark parts of the ship - I'm not against more of an effort to map it and understand what's going on. But the fact remains that we don't have a good system for getting through the area, and we have no concrete evidence of who - if anyone - might be trapped there.

I'd love to know what has happened to some of the people who have disappeared. I'd love to feel like I was doing something more pro-active about the whole situation. A lot of us feel that way. But we just don't have enough to go on right now.

That said, I'm willing to go with you if you're determined to do this. We'd need to figure out who is going, what part of the ship we want to explore/search, and how long we plan to be gone, for a start. Do you have someone willing to act as field medic?

Re: text;

[darkholme]

the fact that there was anyone out there at all in the first place is evidence enough for me.

Crazy would be- a yet unfounded categorization.

I am, however, inclined to agree with Tyke's assessment. Your suggestion would be most unwise.

[darkholme]

But-

[ huff. ]

I know people keep talking about wanting to go and explore and form groups and be all organized, but what does that matter if it never happens? There could be people out there in the ship that need our help and we don't even know it.

[astrogate]

If you need help, let me know.

[ because at least if she goes, she knows things can get done. ]

[darkholme]

i'm getting mixed messages, honestly. dunno if i should go, even if my gut is telling me it'd be the right thing to do.

text » encrypted 100% » late whatever deal with it

[mathematically]

And how many people from home have you lost?

text » encrypted 100% » neverrrrrlate

[darkholme]

technically? five. but one came back, and two were.. the same person. only different in some ways. different memories, same person.
it's complicated.
but it's not why i'm doing this.

[ as someone who has had keller appear out of thin air and known neal pulled his shit, there's literally one thought that comes to mind, because honestly, none of them seemed to be coming back right and well— ]

The three who came back were rarities, as far as any of us can tell.

[ whoa, voice. here's Raven clearing her throat, oop ]

-- Oh, um. Well, yes. As far as we can tell. But that's because we never actually looked.
